ecently we did some redesign to our website at www.retirement-living. com. As we “got under the hood,” one of the surprises was just how many real-life stories we have accumulated in our 21 years of being published. Nearly 1,000 of these are now neatly indexed and easily accessible on our website. We made a conscious shift many
years ago to focus our articles on real people and the decisions they made regarding their future. Our readers have responded that this type of article is a great enhancement to our content and checklists that explain the many specific options that are available. The process of updating our website made us realize how special our offerings at SourceBook and www.retirement-living.com are. While a search in Google might garner
dozens of websites that list senior living options, none have been committed to serving seniors and families for over two decades like we have. Very few of these websites have any articles to help, and certainly not a collection of real-life stories like we have. What really separates us from other resources is the fact that we have a daily dialogue with seniors, families and providers that have helped us evolve our publication and website to be the most
When DEMENTIA set in, you vowed TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
Arden Courts lets you
keep that promise.
Providing the distinctive care for dementia requires special skills and experience. Which is precisely what you’ll find at Arden Courts residential assisted living.

referred-to resource in the region. Technology can offer us opportunities to gather feedback in a more efficient and global manner, but it also can detach us from meaningful face-to-face conversations. These conversations are vital ingredients to pass on generational wisdom. I have had the honor of sitting down and having these conversations with many of the elders that you will see featured in our publication. We do our best to transfer their wisdom and experiences through our pages and via video at www.retirement-living.com. However, I urge you to connect with
those elders around you, especially when you are visiting many of the options listed in our publication and website. In addition, I extend the opportunity for you to reach out and share your wisdom and experiences with us so that we can continue to improve our offerings. While you might see us at one of the many events featured on our event calendar, you can call me directly at 1-800-394-9990 ext. 1118 and, of course, you can always email me at steve@proaging.com.

A Truly Unique Family Caregiving Story A mother and daughter share a special bond that has been enhanced by the support of Kensington Park Retirement Community.
A
By Steve Gurney and Lauren Searson
ccording to a study conducted by National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, more than 29% of the U.S. population is providing care for a disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year. Anastasia Bettis is one of those family members, but the passion, commitment and bond she shares with her mother, Mardi Marshall, would be completely off the charts if one tried to measure it in a research project. Mardi is a native of Oregon, and after graduating from the University of Oregon she travelled the world teaching English in different locations including the Philippines, Subic Bay and Germany. Having always admired Mardi’s passion for traveling, Anastasia was fortunate to follow in her mother’s footsteps with her decade-long career in the airline industry. Through her work, Anastasia said she was able to visit places that she “could have only dreamt about.” Eventually Mardi returned to school and received her Masters Degree in Special Education at Gallaudet University, where she met her husband. They raised four children, Anastasia being the youngest. The family actually lived on the campus of Gallaudet for several years, and they are skilled communicators in sign language. Since Anastasia’s father had a severe hearing impairment, Mardi would communicate with him through sign. This skill has proven to be extremely valuable to Mardi after a series of health problems culminated in her loss of the ability to type, write and talk. “Having the sign language has been a blessing,” said Anastasia. Referring to her mother as her “best friend,” Anastasia actually shared a two-bedroom apartment in Silver Spring, Md. with Mardi prior to her health issues. When Mardi suffered a heart attack and breast cancer, her daughter took a leave of absence from her position to be a full time caregiver until Mardi regained her independence. In addition, Anastasia’s flexible work schedule allowed her to offer her mom support even when she returned to work. When Mardi had a stroke, it was again Anastasia who

took leave to be by her mother’s side. This proved to be much more challenging for both of them. While Mardi received rehabilitation at a nursing center, Anastasia was with her daily and eventually brought her home to continue the rehabilitation. When Mardi appeared to be stable, her daughter accepted a position traveling with a Saudi royal family on their private airplane. Although the position required her to be away for 30 consecutive days, she would then be at home for the next 30. It was during her absence that Anastasia and her sister, Stephanie, discovered that Mardi was truly having a tough time living on her own. Together,

sarily skilled nursing or personal care. They noted how basic housekeeping services are not what the senior needs or what their loved ones had in mind. Instead, they want the knowledge a nurse comes with and that additional help around the house. Therefore, they started Elder Clean Pros, through which individuals can either receive a monthly or twice-monthly full home deep clean. Additionally, the elder clean specialists offer a weekly safety check along with linen changes, room wipe downs and vacuuming and tidying. Most importantly, since many of the specialists are Certified Nursing Assistants, they provide, as Sam and Jody often refer to it, ‘undercover care.’ “So many seniors will not tell their family what is really going on. If we notice something needing immediate attention that nobody knows about, like a bruise or injury, we can at least let the family or care manager know what we’ve seen,� said Jody. “We bring attention to those issues before they become a crisis.� As a result, children and family members rest assured knowing there is another set of attentive eyes on their loved ones. For this among other reasons, care managers such as the Director of Aging Network Services, Barbara Kane,
LCSW-C, understand the importance and need for this type of service. “It fills a niche for seniors who are not ready or who are resistant to home health care. Seniors are more likely to want housekeeping help, but these housekeepers have an eye on things,� she said. And Jack Lish is just one of many clients who have proven why this undercover care is so essential. During a visit, the cleaning specialist noticed Jack’s leg was swollen and reported back to Sam who took his father to the doctor. They learned Jack had a blood clot, and he was immediately sent to the emergency room. According to Jody, many individuals, like her in-laws, have started out using Elder Clean Pros, finding it provides an easy transition for seeking the services of Advanced Home Support. As the cleaning specialists visit twice-monthly, Jack now has a caregiver that comes every weekday and will even make himself available on weekends and holidays if needed. “Our caregiver is such a caring and nice person; we feel lucky to have him,� said Fran. “These services have certainly helped me a great deal and we’re very satisfied. We feel well taken care of and completely covered.�

Making the Move with a Good Friend Two longtime neighbors decided to research communities, but never imagined they would share the same apartment!
W
hen Sean Foohey moved into his townhouse in Fairfax County, Va. in 1969, one of the first people he met was his next-door neighbor. The two immediately developed a friendship and support network that included sharing dinner and conversation nearly every evening. Now over 40 years later, they have made the move to The Woodlands Retirement Community in Fairfax, where instead of living next door, they are sharing the same spacious apartment and loving it. Living together, however, was not their original intention when they began discussing the challenges of maintaining their homes, especially after several tough winter storms. “We lived in three-story houses with lots of steps that were just getting to be too much for both of us,” said Sean. “What I really envisioned was living in a retirement community next door to each other, in two smallish apartments.” Using resources provided by the Fairfax County Area Agency on Aging, including a copy of Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, the two were able to narrow down the communities they were interested in touring. One day, while on an errand together, they realized they were near The Woodlands, an option on their list. Although a bit apprehensive, they decided to stop by without an appointment and see if they could look around. With a warm greeting from the staff, they were able to tour the community and several apartments. “We fell in love with the place,” said Sean. One of the first things that struck them on their tour was how large the apartments were. Budget-conscious, the two realized that it might make sense financially to explore the alternative of sharing an apartment and noted that many of the models could perfectly accommodate this. The apartment they ultimately chose features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen. “It’s perfect for us. It’s like two little private suites with a common area in between and we love it,” said Sean. Having lived in The Woodlands for only three months, the friends have settled in nicely. Its convenient location allows the two to regularly visit friends in their old neighborhood, attend the same church and still see their longtime doctors. With a passion for music, they both enjoy the regular performances at The Woodlands. Sean sits on the Board of Directors for the Virginia Opera and The Woodlands has donated meeting space and refreshments for the board to have their monthly meetings at the community. He also enjoys using the state-ofthe-art fitness center, one of the many amenities that drew them

to the community. “I believe that you’ve got to use it or lose it and so I keep moving,” he said. Most importantly, they like how the size of the community enables them to get acquainted with all of the other residents. “What we like about this place is it’s not too big. You have a chance of getting to know everybody, including staff. And we’re well on our way to accomplishing that,” said Sean. This is not surprising for the two as one of the first residents they met referred to everyone at The Woodlands as a family. “They’re family and friends,” said Sean. “One of the things I hoped to accomplish was to meet more people and have people to talk to, and that’s happened really nicely.”

The next issue of SourceBook will feature a special section profiling residents of local communities and their pets. We offer you a sneak peek at the wonderful story of Bud and Scooter at Brooke Grove Retirement Village. Although Bud Hotz is a resident in the memory care neighborhood on the expansive campus of Brooke Grove Retirement Village, it doesn’t mean he can’t still enjoy the companionship of his best friend, ‘Scooter.’ “I rescued him from the pound over two years ago,” said Bud. The fact that Bud and Scooter have remained together illustrates the commitment that Brooke Grove makes to its residents of all abilities on the Sandy Spring, Md. campus. When the duo first arrived at the community, Scooter was seen as a bit of a handful. Brooke Grove, however, connected with a dog trainer instead of separating Bud from his beloved companion. Joy Ridgley from the life enrichment program at Brooke Grove said, “The help of his trainer and working with Scooter and Bud at the same time has been wonderful.” She continued, saying, “Scooter is very important in Bud’s life, but he also entertains us (staff) and other residents. Pets really bring a different side out of the residents that is wonderful.” Scooter and Bud can be seen enjoying each other’s companionship at Brooke Grove along with the other 45 resident pets across campus.

Making Deep and Purposeful Connections Amenities and activities go beyond entertainment to become a foundation for caring and meaningful relationships.
“W
e saw that Collington offered us the one thing that was more important to us and that was a group of people we wanted to live with,” said Grant Bagley, a resident of the Continuing Care Retirement Community located in Mitchellville, Md. “We’ve made close friendships in a short period of time and they are of a depth and quality that I would not have predicted to be possible.” A Utah native, Grant shared with a smile how he chose skiing over studies and dropped out of high school. A quick search on Google, however, reveals that Grant has an impressive career path ranging from engineering to medicine and law. It is the varied backgrounds of residents like Grant that continue to draw individuals to the expansive 125-acre campus that offers many unique amenities and activities. Grant is an example of how resident interests can be a connector for deep friendships. One of the many gathering places on campus is an expansive woodshop, which at first might appear to be a disorganized building where a few residents work on projects and crafts. The activities in this shop, however, go way beyond personal projects as residents use this venue to fix furniture and antiques for their peers. “We don’t charge for the service, but we get donations which help us replenish the woodshop,” said Grant. Here, the shop’s treasurer, Bill Cosgrove, shares his techniques for fixing electrical items while another resident leads a knife-sharpening workshop. The venue also contains pool tables, model trains and space for residents to work on a treasured community tradition: model sailboats. Collington has a 6-acre lake where the entire community rallies for an annual regatta featuring the radio-controlled sailboats replicated after Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks. Another newly added feature is the fully functional Amateur (HAM) radio station, which is a lifelong passion Grant initially thought he would have to give up. Shortly after moving, however, he collaborated with a group of residents to create a station, further demonstrating the culture at Collington in which residents are highly involved in the direction of activities. According to Grant, the station will eventually become an integral part of the emergency communication system for the entire county. While he and his peers enjoy countless amenities like the

shop, tennis courts, gardens, swimming pool and fitness center at Collington, they are also drawn to the fact that they have access to a range of healthcare services, from independent living to nursing and rehabilitation, should their needs change. The HAM radio has proven to be an essential part of helping residents across the community stay connected. Grant recently started working with a nursing care resident who was worried about feeling isolated due to his health issues. He has been helping the resident renew his HAM license that expired in the 1930s and told him, “You will have all the people you want to talk to.” Grant’s enthusiastic approach to a sense of community is shared by all the residents and staff. Regardless of age or health, he has emphasized to his son and others how everyone is his friend and that despite what may happen to him, he knows he will be cared for at Collington. With these friendships and support, Grant and his wife could not be more thrilled with the choice they made for their future. Even their son during a recent two-day visit, said of his mother, “I’ve never seen her so happy.”

HOW TO
roll up your sleeves, or let a professional help
T
he organizational and physical tasks of a move can often be overwhelming, but there are professionals and useful tips that can ease the transition for everyone involved. Seeking Professional Help Senior move managers are professionals who specialize in assisting older adults and their families with the emotional and physical aspects of relocation. They often have backgrounds in gerontology, social work, health care, nursing and psychology. Because they focus exclusively on the move process, move managers have significant expertise in resources and approaches that save money, reduce stress and produce quality results to meet the client’s personalized needs. Moving on Your Own Once you have made the decision as to where you are moving, you will have a much easier time figuring out what items to keep or get rid of. Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring.
Having a floor plan and the important measurements will help in figuring out which large items you will be able to bring.
Professional organizers say it is best to have at least six months for such a move, but whatever your timetable, you should get a calendar solely for planning your strategy. You might mark off “DDay� (for decision made) and “M-Day� (for moving), then mark (in pencil!) the day the necessary steps will be made. Decide on tentative dates for any sales you might have and make deadlines for other necessary tasks. Assign various responsibilities to family members. When estimating the time needed for big jobs, take a general tip from freelancers and
#ALLĂĽUSĂĽTODAYĂĽATĂĽ WWW 0ACK . -OVE COM
independent contractors: figure out the time you think you will need, and then multiply it by at least two! Allow yourself enough time to ensure you have brought everything you want before the contents of your previous home are taken away. You do not want to regret having given away too much too soon, or to have important things lost in the shuffle. Some excerpts from this article used from Moving On: A Practical Guide to Downsizing the Family Home by Linda Hetzer and Janet Hulstrand (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).
Our Philosophy of Beautiful AccessibilitySM of designing with beauty, safety and individual needs for your residence. We help you make the overwhelming possible in these hectic moving stages: Plan-Design-Pack-SortOrganize-Donate-Stage-Move-Unpack.

HOW TO

utilize real estate transactions
transforming the challenges of selling and buying into choices For those who have been in their homes for several years, relocating presents challenges far beyond the physical demands of carrying boxes and arranging furniture. These individuals may also face difficult emotional and financial decisions during the moving process. Preparing the family home for sale, downsizing, packing, moving, and setting up the new house are all physically and mentally arduous tasks. Fortunately, there are innovative real estate companies who offer customized services to help individuals with every aspect of moving and downsizing.
Council. Senior Housing Specialist (SHS) Realtors have also met specific guidelines outlined by the Real Estate Certification Program (RECP). Both of these designations signal to consumers that agents have completed specialized training courses and are qualified to meet the unique needs of their clients throughout the home buying and/or selling process. A qualified agent’s comprehensive assessment of the condition and marketability of the home can decrease selling time and increase selling price. Specialized agents can also help clients prioritize repairs and locate qualified profesStep One: Preparing to sell or buy sionals to complete such projects.

egories: keep/move, give to family, donate to charity, and throw away. The initial list of items to keep will likely be larger than the new space can accommodate. Moving professionals, however, can offer advice by taking into account their client’s personal tastes, the financial and sentimental value of possessions, and the new floor plan. Step Three: Moving Downsizing is one of the most time consuming and emotionally draining aspects of the moving process. For many, moving day is simple and rewarding due to comprehensive, customized real estate services provided prior to the sale of the house. On moving day, real estate professionals can recommend trusted companies to help with the physical aspects of moving while providing assistance with the job of unpacking and setting up the new home.

HOW TO
find an elder law attorney
utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela. org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more
than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?
What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? For more information visit the NAELA website: www.naela.org or www.nelf.org. n

My first job out of law school was with Legal Services—a firm that represents low income clients. That was long ago but it taught me that having a beautiful office or a big staff is not necessary to the crafting of good legal solutions. What is important is to have a knowledgeable lawyer who has the ability to make complex issues clear and who has a genuine concern for costs.

HOW TO
discuss billing methods
understanding the fees and expenses involved Attorneys may bill weekly, monthly or upon completion of work. Discuss how your attorney charges and how often he/she bills at your initial meeting. It is very important that you understand and feel comfortable in this area. Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. If this is the case, find out what the rates are. Other attorneys charge a flat fee for all or part of the services, which is not unusual if you are having documents prepared. Your attorney might use Some attorneys charge by the hour with different hourly rates for work performed by a combination of these methods. In addition to fees, most attorneys attorneys, paralegals and secretaries. will charge you out-of-pocket expenses which can include charges for copies, calls and other such costs. Find out if postage, messenger fees, court fees, dis- there will be any other incidental costs. position fees, long distance telephone The attorney may ask for a retainer
(money paid before the attorney starts working on your case). Usually placed in a trust account, the attorney pays himself or herself out of that account each time you are billed. Expenses may be paid directly from the trust account. The size of the retainer may range from a small percentage of the estimated cost to the full amount. Ask that your arrangement with an attorney be put in writing either in a letter or formal contract that states the attorney’s services and what the fee and expense arrangement will be. Even if the agreement is oral, you are responsible for all charges for work done by the attorney and his/her staff.

HOW TO
prepare legal documents
advance directives that put your affairs in order Advance directives (living wills, powers of attorneys, and health care proxies) are legal documents that express an individual’s wishes with regard to medical decisions. They are intended to provide direction to a designated “agent” to speak on behalf of a person who is unable to speak for himself due to a physical or cognitive injury. Finding An Agent An agent under an advance directive has legal authority to make any decisions and take any actions for the individual who appointed them. It is important for an individual to appoint a trusted person to speak for him when he is unable to speak for himself with respect to medical and end-of-life decisions. Consultation with an attorney is critical to address the legal nuances, personal

preferences, and state differences. When drafting advance directives, an individual’s wishes for health care and end-of-life decisions must be specifically addressed. Considering the significance of these decisions, it is important to appoint an agent who will follow the individual’s directions even if family members, medical professionals, or friends disagree with them. Things to Consider The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) advises consumers to consider five key items. 1. Who will serve as your Agent for Health Care or as the alternate? 2. Are there certain medical treatments or pain control measures you want or don’t want? 3. Do you wish to take or refuse any
medication that may reduce or eliminate the ability to communicate with others? 4. Do you have any particular directions regarding specific health care facilities, religious preferences, disposition of your body, donation of bodily parts for transplant or research, etc.? 5. What directions will you provide related to end-of-life decisions specifically regarding: n if you can no longer eat, drink, or breathe on your own; n if you cannot function independent of machines; n if you are confined to bed with no mobility; n if you have little cognitive ability.

managing your estate how an executor can help you An executor is the person or corporate fiduciary (trust company) that is appointed under your will to manage your estate after you die. The executor will: n offer your will to the court for probate; n marshal your assets; n file an inventory of your assets with the court; n pay all debts, expenses of administration, and taxes; and n sell any property that must be sold to put the estate in a position to be closed. The executor will petition the court to make an order to distribute your estate. During the probate of your estate, the executor has the duty to account for the financial transactions of the estate and to keep the court and the beneficiaries informed as to the progress of the estate administration. After the court issues the
order for distribution, the executor will distribute your estate pursuant to the terms of the order that incorporates the asset disposition provisions of your will. A will does not have to nominate an executor to be valid. However, nomination in your will of the executor permits you to select the executor and to determine whether the executor should be bonded or not. Carefully select your executor. Too many people feel that the job is merely honorary and that competence is a secondary consideration. Nothing could be further from the truth. A good executor will make the difference between an estate that is handled efficiently and expeditiously versus an estate that will get mired in eventual litigation and losses. A good executor is one who keeps detailed financial records, is not a procrastina-

tor, and can make difficult decisions. Although the executor will most likely hire a lawyer for assistance, the responsibility begins and ends with the executor.

oston native Vera Berne worked in different mental health settings in Washington, D.C. after moving to the nation’s capital in 1943. As a respected diagnostician, teacher and mentor to a number of mental health professionals, she helped several individuals throughout her career that spanned over 50 years. Now, at the age of 90, Vera has been needing assistance herself and is glad to have found a trusted daily money manger. Over the course of her career, Vera never emphasized private practice feeling it was too isolating in terms of her capacity to effect change. Above all, she said she stressed the importance of distrusting simple answers and instead dealing with complexity in the area of human behavior. After the passing of her husband, the
nature of her work extended to a broader field as she did international consulting, establishing relationships in Europe. “I had the great opportunity to meet some extraordinarily gifted people from whom I did learn much,” she said. According to Vera, her profession was interrupted almost overnight when she lost the capacity to read over two years ago because of a physical change in the structure of her eye. As her eyesight continued to diminish, she found it impossible to operate independently with certain tasks such as money management. Fortunately, she was connected to Kate Finan of Finan Financial Care, LLC, who has specialized in the daily money management needs of seniors in the area since 1993. When Kate visits Vera, they consider the priority of items such as paying bills and making donations to charities; reconciling
the checkbook; and reviewing and making decisions on how to respond to a fairly large volume of mail. Vera has also appreciated the focus on her need for legal help as they have established a will and other important documents. “She has been great in helping me organize the practical aspects of my life under the condition of diminished sight; she acts as an alter ego,” said Vera. She also said she has found a connection with Kate as far as her capacity to see the complexity of what Vera has to deal with beyond simple solutions. “In this relationship with Kate, what is paramount is the mutual recognition that the problem is not in a loss of mental capacity but rather in the capacity to deal with practical everyday problems,” said Vera. “Without her help, I would have been stressed and unable to manage my current life.”

are you eligible for a reverse mortgage? Several criteria must be met before a consumer is eligible for a reverse mortgage. Potential borrowers must be at least 62 years of age and live in their own home. Borrowers must also own their homes outright or have significant equity in their homes. Individuals with remaining balances on a first or second mortgage may be eligible for a reverse mortgage, but those will have to be paid off with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage first. Singlefamily homes, manufactured homes, condominiums, and townhomes are eligible
properties. There are no income, credit, or employment requirements to qualify for a reverse mortgage. The amount a borrower receives is dependent on age, interest rates, and the overall value of their home. Older borrowers will generally receive more than younger borrowers, and home values are a major factor in determining the payout amount of the loan. Borrowers are required to meet with a reverse mortgage counselor before obtaining a loan. Counselors are indepen-
dent professionals who provide education about the mortgages and can suggest other alternatives. For a list of counseling agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, visit www.hud.gov or call (800) 569-4287. For more information, visit the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association’s (NRMLA) website at www.reversemortgage.org or the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s website at www.hud.gov.

HOW TO
find care management
those familiar with the industry can help you navigate it. With the complex maze of resources available today, many families are turning to Geriatric Care Managers (GCM) for help with decisions that are appropriate for their lifestyle and needs. With training in social work, nursing, counseling, and/or gerontology, GCMs offer customized consultations and administer a “care plan.” Though it outlines the necessary steps required to obtain the appropriate type of care for the client, this plan is not binding and is rather considered a recommendation from an informed expert. Who Needs a GCM? Families who are confused about how to care for a parent or loved ones are primary candidates for geriatric care managers. The services of a GCM can enable you to make decisions that are appropri-
ate without causing undo stress. Instead of waiting for a crisis situation, you may want to turn to a GCM earlier, so that there are more options available. What Can a GCM Do for Me? COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT. Utilizing their professional backgrounds and experience, care managers are able to perform an unbiased evaluation of the client’s mental, physical, social, financial, and legal functioning. RECOMMENDATIONS. After determining what services would be helpful for the well-being of the individual, the GCM can recommend providers who will best meet the family’s needs. Familiar with industry standards, they routinely make recommendations for all levels of care. COUNSELING. The counseling that
Helping Seniors for Over 30 Years
GCMs can provide helps clients and their families handle the emotional stress involved with these decisions. They provide the family with information about the illness or challenge that the client faces and the available resources. MEDIATION. GCMs can also negotiate family dynamics, helping to sort out all of the various concerns that have resulted from the challenge of caring for a loved one. FOLLOW-UP VISITS. GCMs are generally involved in the implementation of the care plan. This typically includes follow-up visits to the individual’s home or facility a couple of times a week shortly after implementation and quarterly thereafter. Some clients are visited once a week for the duration of their services. Visit caremanager.org for more information.

HOW TO
consider a gcm and costs
finding the right care manager and discussing fees When considering a GCM, take into account their professional standing, as well as their personality and how comfortable they make their clients. Although there is no official licensure process for care managers, the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM) has established standards of quality and a Code of Ethics; these standards as well as GCM referrals can be obtained at www.caremanager.org. How Much Will It Cost? According to the NAPGCM website, there are many different ways of charging fees and each PGCM works differently. You will need to know how often s/he bills. Some PGCMs bill weekly, some bill monthly, some bill upon completion of
work. Ask about these matters at the initial conference and ask for them in writing, so there will be no surprises. If you don’t understand, ask again. If you need clarification, say so. It is very important that you feel comfortable regarding your financial obligations. In addition to fees, most PGCMs will charge for out-of-pocket expenses, which may include charges for mileage, care giving supplies, long-distance telephone calls, etc. Find out if there will be any other incidental costs. There may also be additional fees if outside professionals are called into the case. It is imperative that the PGCM receives approval to bring others in before the situation arises, if at all possible. As mentioned on the NAPGCM website, be
*OEJWJEVBMJ[FE 4FSWJDFT GPS UIF &MEFSMZ BOE %JTBCMFE
sure to discuss and make sure you have all questions answered before proceeding with an agreement for services. You should expect a written agreement including fees before the commencement of services. As fees for a GCM range, check with your Medicare office to see if you are eligible for subsidies. The average time required by a client is four hours.

G e r i at r i c C a r e M a n ag e m e n t Questions To Ask When Looking For a Professional Geriatric Care Manager Professional Geriatric Care Managers have diverse experience, education, and backgrounds. Many are licensed in their state in specific fields (such as nursing or social work). Geriatric Care Managers do not specialize in all areas. When a Geriatric Care Manager says s/he practices “care management,” find out her/his areas of expertise. You will want to hire someone who regularly handles clients with similar needs.
It is important for the wise consumer to ask questions. Some of these include: 1. What are your professional credentials? 2. Are you licensed in your profession? 3. Are you a member of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers? 4. How long have you been providing care management services? 5. Are you available for emergencies? 6. Does your company also provide home care services? 7. How do you communicate information to me? 8. What are your fees? (These should be provided to the consumer/responsible party in writing prior to services starting.) 9. Can you provide me with references?
Information from the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers. For additional resources and information, visit www.caremanager.org.
Do you need help finding or creating the best situation for yourself or a loved one adjusting to physical challenges, memory decline, family far away, or medical care? We are compassionate professionals committed to enhancing our clients’ quality of life. We provide: • Comprehensive assessments • Guidance navigating the • Consultations healthcare system • Care coordination, routine and • Relocation assistance • Advocacy as needed monitoring visits
Megan Descutner, MS, RN 703-216-7408 Megan@Goldenpond.us
WHEN IS IT TIME TO ASK FOR HELP? s When your older loved ones need help, where do you turn? s Are they eating well? s Are they taking their medications correctly? s Can they stay at home with the help of a caregiver? s Is it time to transition to long-term care?

Resolving Communication Breakdowns When it comes to the different challenges associated with caring for a loved one, poor communication is often at the root of the problem. You can take comfort in the fact that there are others who have grappled with the very same issues and who can share their mistakes and solutions. These individuals can be found through support groups, your employer’s human resources department, or even just asking trusted friends and neighbors.
Seeking Assistance Employee Assistance Programs, often known as EAPs, are a service put in place by most mid-sized and large employers. These programs usually have resources available to help both employees and their families through eldercare challenges. Consult with your company’s human resources department for more information.
Seeking Objectivity Sometimes an objective third party’s opinion is beneficial when you are faced with a personal family problem. Mediation professionals specialize in resolving conflicts, making compromises and leading family members through the communication process. One unique feature of this process is the non-judgmental mediator, who is skilled in improving communication among the family members. Seeking Support Attending support group meetings will allow you to meet with like-minded people, share similar scenarios, confide in each other and build healthy camaraderie. Furthermore, important resources can be shared and solutions from experienced members will abound. Seeking Advocates When it comes to a breakdown in communication between residents and communities, ombudsman are available to advocate on behalf of the residents’ rights. This national program is a great solution as the ombudsman will investigate any complaints and determine what appropriate action should be taken.

technology to the rescue
A
keep in contact with family and emergency services
personal response system (PRS), sometimes called a PERS (personal emergency response system) answers the need of many older Americans for both security and independence. Many organizations, including the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), encourage their use, but for the consumer choosing from among the many brands on the market, buying a PRS can be somewhat confusing. What is a PRS? A PRS is a relatively simple tool to help keep the user in contact with friends, family, and, if needed, emergency services. Each system has three elements: a portable radio transmitter (help button), a console connected to the user’s telephone, and a response center to monitor the calls. In case of an emergency (a fall, chest pains, suspected intruder, etc.), the user simply calls for help by pressing the button on the radio transmitter. The console picks up the signal (much like an automatic garage door opener) and automatically phones the response center (even if the phone is off the hook). The call
is routed to the response center where the needs and budget constraints before decidcaller is identified through special coding. ing on any one system.

along for the ride transportation providers make sure you’ll get there The D.C. metro area has several transportation or personal concierge services that can give older adults a lift while raising their spirits as well. Not only do they provide a ride to and from important errands and engagements, but they can impart valuable companionship and can be less costly than a series of cab rides. It may be time to consider a transportation provider if your loved one has experienced memory loss, inability to perform routine tasks, impaired judgment, slowed reaction time or a diminished attention span. Some adults may even find that they like riding with a companion much better than being behind the wheel alone. This buddy approach will ensure that all the errands for the

Some popular uses for concierge services include grocery shopping, cleaning, computer training, bill paying, dry cleaning, pet services and gardening. Of course, most concierge services will accommodate any reasonable request. For the children of these aged loved ones who balance multiple tasks, this companionship is an important supplement to the care they provide at home. Next time an older friend or parent needs assistance, consider using a transportation or concierge service to make them most of your time and ensure that your loved one is receiving appropriate care.

Wheelchair accessible transportation services are available throughout the area, but check in advance before booking services through a company. Many transportation services go above and beyond the simple ride, offering personal concierge services so your loved one will experience healthy companionship. For those who wish to remain in their own homes, completing daily tasks such as cooking, shopping, appointments and filling prescriptions can become too much to handle alone. Concierge services know that seniors do not have to sacrifice their independence

avis Hooper is a Vietnam veteran residing at Victory Forest in Silver Spring for the past four years. One of the interests that generated by his time in the Navy is the weather. During his four years in the military, Dave worked as a weather observer. For periods of six to seven weeks he was out at sea on an aircraft carrier where he helped to land and launch planes on the deck, an incredibly difficult job in good weather and next to impossible in foul weather. Dave’s critical job was to track the weather and relay information about current conditions to the pilots. “The Navy sent me for about six months of specialized full-time study,� he commented. “I haven’t stayed in touch with anyone I served with in Vietnam but I am Facebook friends with all the local forecasters and have made lots of other internet friends.� These connections are particularly

important to Dave because of health problems that forced him to start using a wheelchair. “I used to get out and around with a walker but now find that I need a wheelchair.� It was this shift that prompted Dave to look for a new way to get groceries. “When I used the walker I could still take the Victory Forest bus up to the grocery store.� he said. With the wheelchair, Dave said he found
transportation and shopping much more difficult. He also did not have a computer at the time for ordering groceries online. “I remembered seeing an article in Guide to Retirement Living SourceBook, when I was looking for senior housing, about a nonprofit grocery program that took grocery orders by phone. That service was Top Banana Home Delivered Groceries.� “Now, I’m pretty much a regular. They carry just about everything I want. If I needed it, which luckily I don’t, the drivers would even be happy to put the groceries away. They’ve always been great,� said Dave. “Occasionally they help with something small around the apartment. And Mavis and Marise, who take my orders, have been super.� Dave gets his prescriptions and other items delivered by Kensington Pharmacy, and most Fridays, when Top Banana delivers in Montgomery County, he looks forward to seeing the drivers and getting his brown bags of groceries.

someone is ‘hear’ to help the latest technologies in hearing aids adjust to your lifestyle
H
earing aid technology has advanced tremendously in recent years. Today’s hearing aids offer options that dramatically reduce background noise, can be programmed for a variety of hearing environments, and can distinguish between voices and noise, just to name a few features. Due to advances in micro technology and the use of micro chips, hearing aids have developed into smaller and more complex devices. Hearing aids now afford users the opportunity to hear in a natural way. Depending on the degree of hearing loss and personal preferences, today’s tients have a wide variety of hearing aids to choose from. For individuals who are concerned about the stigma of wearing a hearing aid, there are completely-inthe-canal hearing aids that fit deep into the ear canal and are virtually invisible. An in-the-canal hearing aid provides added power and is also cosmetically appealing. For volume control and an aid
smaller than the in-the-canal version, individuals can opt for the mini-canal hearing aid. If inserting and operating small devices poses a problem, patients can choose the in-the ear aid, which is encased in a full shell. In cases of profound hearing loss, a behind-the-ear aid will be able to provide individuals with added amplification. Individuals should heed the warning signs of hearing loss and visit an audiologist or hearing professional to get the help they need. Only a thorough examination by a hearing care professional can determine whether or not a specific case of hearing loss is treatable. A professional will also be able to recommend treatment options that take into account the degree of hearing loss and personal lifestyle needs. Choosing a hearing care provider is an important decision, and consumers should consider the provider’s level of experience in the industry, their reputation, and their availability. After obtaining the hearing device that is right for them, individu-
In cases of profound hearing loss, a behindthe-ear aid will be able to provide individuals with added amplification.
als should continue to visit their hearing care provider for periodic cleanings and adjustments in order to ensure that they are experiencing their maximum level of hearing ability. Thanks to the latest advancements, and with the help of an audiologist or hearing professional, hearing aids can go unnoticed while making a tremendous difference in everyday life.

The group was birthed out of an overwhelming need to provide the senior population, their families and providers with resources that affect daily living. In 2002 First Baptist Church of Glenarden became the official site to host our monthly meetings. The planning committee decided to include speakers who are respected and qualified local professionals in the County to speak on timely and important topics that address the senior community. This became an invaluable vehicle for networking opportunities between service providers, healthcare providers and senior care providers to leverage their specialties and thus… the Prince George’s Senior Provider Network grew. In 2008 we started hosting ‘Caregiver Symposiums’ for the senior community. The symposiums are designed to provide up to date resource information and address the needs of our seniors and their families. In partnership with the community our symposiums have grown each year. In 2010 a website and signage materials were created to represent our presence in Prince George’s County and provide ongoing information. We started the process to become a Non-Profit organization. Visit pgspn.org for more information.

The caregiver provides care to an older individual who may be losing their ability to live and care for themselves independently.
Home and Community Based Services Waiver Program for Older Adults enables older adults to remain in a community setting even though their advanced age or disability would warrant placement in a long-term care facility. The Waiver allows services that are typically covered by Medicaid only in a long term care facility to be provided to eligible persons in their own homes or in assisted living facilities. Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a demonstration project designed to streamline the transition process for individuals who chose to transition from a long-term care facility to a community setting. A community setting is defined by MFP as a resident’s own home, or an assisted living facility with four or less unrelated residents. The Area Agency on Aging will serve as the local single point of entry for applicants. Senior Nutrition Program provides older persons with a nutritionally sound and satisfying meal in strategically located congregate sites and/or in the seniors home. The program provides the framework and support for not only an American meal, but also a kosher meal program.

Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with a chronic disease themselves. This program is especially helpful for people with chronic illness, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.

HOW TO
find resources for military
D.C. region offers resources to military & federal retirees who have served our country
M
ilitary personnel and federal employees are essential to the function and success of the federal government. As our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. is home to a large number of federal employees, military personnel, and their families. From retirement communities for military officers and their spouses to associations that represent the needs of federal employees, there are resources available in this area to help those who have served our country. According to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA), there are 25 million veterans currently alive, and three of every four of those veterans completed their service during a period of war or hostility. Their website notes that “approximately 70 million people are potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members, or survivors of veterans.” Countless organizations, associations, and communities serve the large concentration of these veterans and their family members who live in the D.C. metro area.
From independent living to nursing care, there are communities in the D.C. area available to serve the needs of military retirees. Many of these communities cater specifically to retired officers and their spouses. Communities are often located near military hospitals or medical centers, and transportation is often provided. These communities provide a vital service to retired military personnel, and combine lifestyle amenities with readily available services. In addition to the resources listed on this page, veterans should be aware of the benefits available through the VA Disability Pension benefits include a special benefit for Aid and Attendance. The Aid and Attendance benefit is for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular assistance of another person with activities of daily living, including eating, bathing, dressing, and toileting. Nursing home patients, assisted living residents, and individuals who are blind are also covered under this benefit. War veterans with 90 days of active duty and/or their surviving spouses are eligible for this benefit. Beneficiaries must also meet certain medical and financial requirements. In order to qual-
ify, applicants must file appropriate paperwork, receive a medical examination by a physician, meet net worth and net income limitations, and submit information detailing out-of-pocket medical expense costs. Those deemed eligible can use the Aid and Attendance benefit to pay for care in their homes, in a nursing home, or in an assisted living community. Veterans and their spouses will receive set monthly payments. To apply for any of the VA’s wide range of benefits, call 1-800-827-1000 or visit their website at www.va.gov. Other benefits for veterans and their family members include: Education, Home Loan Guaranty, Disability Compensation, Disability Pension, Dependency Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA), Medical Care, Burial, and Life Insurance. Both military and government retirees should investigate all of the benefits, services, and options that are available to them. The list on page 86 includes contact information for many of these resources.

HOW TO
stay surrounded with activity
active adult communities keep residents moving
Active Adult Communities
active adult communities are full of options and most of the costs are included in the living fees. Homes are constructed of low-maintenance building materials and feature virtually maintenance-free yards so residents can enjoy the tennis courts, swimming pools, hiking trails, biking paths and fitness centers that are generally available within these communities. When researching this option, start by requesting information packets from prospective communities. Once you have narrowed down your options, schedule visits to each. While you are there, take
Featured on Page
Active Adult communities, also known as leisure communities, are populated with adults who have come to live there by choice as soon as they hit the requisite age – usually around 55. Most active adult communities are not equipped to provide increased care or health-related services. However, several are part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community where residents can count on extended care if they develop health problems. Ideal for empty nesters, but not limited to those who have stopped working,

thorough notes and make a list of pros and cons. Ask if you can dine with residents, talk with staff and read the residents’ handbook during your visit. When you meet with the management or resident relations director, make sure to assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents. And never underestimate the power of the good old-fashioned hunch. Prioritize your own needs and feelings and give yourself plenty of time to make a decision. This is your new home and a place you will come to enjoy for decades.

HOW TO
receive care for life
continuing care communities offer support for changing health needs Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs). These communities offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level, and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments. There are three basic types of CCRC contracts.
An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services, and
amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

HOW TO
interview for senior housing
understanding the process I participated in almost 700 interviews, all the same, yet all different. I would meet with the elder first and answer his questions. I would find out where he was currently living and why he wanted to move. Then the family members joined us. I would answer more questions, discuss the entrance requirements, and go through the activity calendar. I would then ask for the required documents. I also read aloud a document to them, to prevent any misunderstanding, about what we had done that day and what the next steps were. I then took the whole group on a tour of an apartment and the common areas. I made sure to introduce the applicant by name to all residents and staff who passed by us on the tour. For some senior buildings, the procedure is to have you fill out an application and return it to the staff before you come for the interview. For some plac-

Questions You Should Ask n What are the good/bad points about this facility? n Do I meet the financial requirements? n What will my apartment or room look like? n How much will it cost me to live here each month? n What kind of meal program do you offer? n How large is the staff and what kind of care will I receive? n What activities do you offer? n What are the rules about coming and going and having visitors and pets? n When would I be able to move in and what happens on move-in day? n What am I allowed to bring?

Who will decide when I have to move out of here? n Would I be happy here? n
What Your Answers Should Be All your answers should be honest ones. If you do not remember an answer, it is fine to write down the question and tell the interviewer that you will get back to him. You should feel at the end of the interview that you were treated well, that you understand the requirements for living in the facility, and what will happen from that day on in regard to the application process. You probably will be asked to sign many papers at the interview. Most of the signatures give the staff the necessary permission to continue the application process.

HOW TO
understand entrance fees
knowing the options when paying for ccrcs Most CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee), and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement de-
clines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable. Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are par-

HOW TO
live independently
communities offer security with no home maintenance
T
he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of the endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium, or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security — an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a
community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that promote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms, and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed. Paying for Independent Living Communities Most independent living communities are rental communities, but some are condominiums or single-family communities in which residents can purchase
their own units or homes. Costs and services vary widely. In some communities, a monthly fee covers many services, while in others a fee-for-service system is used. A few independent living communities offer subsidies based on strictly defined need. However, it is important to note that there is almost always a waiting list for subsidized units, so start your planning earlier if you need this assistance. To learn more about what is available, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. What to Look For Research your options and request information from those communities to which you have narrowed your focus. Discussing services and amenities in detail with staff can help ensure you find the home that is right for you. A major question for those who are considering an independent living community is how to meet their future health care needs. It is important to have a specific plan covering various levels of care, especially if you are only interested in making one move during this time. You also may want to question whether to select a fee-for-service arrangement or an all-inclusive fee.

understand rental options According to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level applies, a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several
rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing, or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority. Each housing authority has a system for accepting applications. Their representatives can explain their system and how to find an available apartment. HUDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Section 202 program includes apartments where the government provides subsidies directly to owners of qualified properties developed with
loans or grants from the federal government. The owners pass along the federal rental assistance subsidy to qualified residents to cover the gap between the resident payment, generally 30 percent of adjusted income, and rent costs. To apply for housing in a privately-owned affordable housing community, a person will have to visit the management office for each community. Contact your local HUD office to get a list of privatelyowned communities near you. Source: http://www.aahsa.org/article. aspx?id=3780

s one of the foremost authorities on Hamilton Watches having collected them for 40 years, Howard Lasser certainly knows a few things about time. Therefore, instead of delaying finding a senior living community, he and his wife, Barbara, had perfect timing when making the move and are now enjoying a wonderful apartment and lifestyle at The Woodlands in Fairfax, Va. Hailing from New York, the Lassers relocated to the Washington, D.C. area
where they lived for over 50 years and raised three children. The Lassers actually discovered their current home while helping someone else. Serving as a court officer in Alexandria, Howard was conducting research to help his ward when he learned about the retirement community which was under development at the time. “I liked this place right off the bat,” he said. “Barbara suggested that we make the choice now so that our children wouldn’t have to make it later.” The couple was excited to be one of the first residents in a brand new community.
Howard and Barbara Lasser were among their community’s first residents and were happy to get the apartment they wanted with scenic views of the woodlands.

Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-of-the-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called residential care facilities or

how to pay for assisted living When considering potential assisted living communities, it is important to research your payment options. Although Medicare does not cover the costs of assisted living, there are a variety of payment sources available. The NCAL reports that “certain services are paid under Supplementary Security Income and Social Services Block Grant programs.” Individuals who meet income qualifications may also be eligible for assistance through their state Medicaid program. Some communities also offer internal financial assistance programs. State and local governments may Z7008-VH GRL Ad 1110
11/30/10
offer subsidies for rent to those that are income-eligible. Contact the local Area Agency on Aging for more information on subsidies and other payment assistance programs. Long-term care insurance policies provide another financing option for assisted living. Most of these policies will cover the costs of assisted living. Some of the costs of assisted living are also reimbursable through individual health insurance policies. While there are other payment options available, the vast majority of assisted living costs are covered through

private payments by residents and families. The nationwide average cost for an assisted living residence is $2,714 per month or $32,572 annually. These figures are averages only and do not account for more affordable or subsidized options that are available in most areas. Individuals should investigate all available payment sources and obtain specific information on standard rates and fees for additional services before choosing an assisted living community. Financial and insurance experts can provide more detailed information about all the available payment sources.

Assisted Living 10 Tips for Choosing an Assisted Living Facility 1. M ake an accurate and honest assessment of your physical, financial, mental, and lifestyle needs. 2. Visit as many facilities as you can to get a sense of the choices in your area. 3. Narrow down your selection to the top two or three choices, and return to those facilities and ask lots of questions. 4. Ask to review a copy of the Resident Agreement (facility contract). 5. Ask to review the licensing or certification inspection report. 6. Call the Long Term Care Ombudsman program and ask if there are complaints about the facilities you are interested in. Contact the ElderCare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 or www.eldercare.gov to find your local ombudsman who are advocates for assisted living and nursing home residents. 7. Make an unannounced visit to the facilities you are interested in. Talk with the residents and their family members about the facility. 8. Ask what conditions or circumstances may result in the need to relocate or move to another facility. 9. Ask what the baseline fee is and what services are included in that fee? Ask what are additional charges for services/products? 10. Choose the facility that comes closest to your needs. From The Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a national consumer education and advocacy organization. Visit www.ccal.org for more information.

Assisted Living
assisted living service plans According to the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living (CCAL), a resident service plan is a blueprint for their care that describes their needs, likes and preferences and the specific manner in which this care will be delivered. Prepared thoroughly and thoughtfully, the service plan can help a resident achieve their highest level of function and quality of life. The service plan uses an interdisciplinary approach and includes the resident, the family if the resident wishes, the facility nurse and resident service coordinator, and may also include the activity
and dining directors. Many states require that assisted living facilities prepare service plans for each resident. Even if the state does not require it, a well run facility will use them. CCAL recommends that service plans be reevaluated every six months or anytime if there is a significant change in a resident’s health status including a hospitalization. For more information, visit the Consumer Consortium on Assisted Living website at www.ccal.org

The Facts on Congregate Housing Supportive Services for low to moderate incomes n Congregate Housing provides supportive services to residents in selected independent living communities to help them remain independent. n Congregate Housing services are offered in senior citizen apartment buildings that serve low-to-moderate income residents and may be operated by local housing authorities, non-profit organizations, or housing management companies. n Eligible persons receive daily meals, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and assistance with other activities of daily living.
n In Maryland, the State Department of Aging contracts with housing and senior service provider organizations to operate a Congregate Housing Services Program. n Participants must be 62, mentally or physically impaired and of limited income. Spouses of eligible participants must be 55 years of age or older and meet the same requirements. n Individual program participants contribute to the cost of Congregate Housing based on a sliding scale. To qualify for available state subsidies, an individual’s income may not exceed 60% of the state median income, and assets may not exceed $27,375 for an individual or $35,587 for a couple.
For more information, contact the Maryland Department of Aging at 1-800-243-3425

AssiSted Living R e al - L i f e S t o r y By Max Charleston oday, when I turned the calendar over to show a new month, I realized that close to two years had passed since my wife, Marge, and I moved to an assisted living community. It seemed to be a good occasion for looking back at all that Marge and I had endured which led to our life-changing decision. I imagine our story would not be too different from our fellow residents. We did not give up our home because we wanted to, but because we had to. Some years ago, I had a stroke. I made a good recovery, but some impact proved to be permanent. Slowly, but surely, I found keeping up with the maintenance of our home was proving to be too much for me. Also Marge endured a series of injuries; a broken back, a broken ankle, a fractured pelvis, a partial hip replacement and more. Our home was no longer safe. We looked at a number of similar retirement places before settling on
T
When maintaining their home became too challenging, Max and Marge Charleston made the move to an assisted living community where they have been impressed with the staff and variety of activities.
Springhouse of Bethesda. It was in a good neighborhood and was reasonably close to our children. We are satisfied that we made a good choice, although tearing our home apart in preparation for the move was a grim experience. A big change from our past way of living
was that we had to conform to other people’s schedule. That meant we had to give a little, perhaps more than a little, and we couldn’t live in the past. That can be difficult. I noticed that some of our fellow residents had trouble adjusting to the food. Serving over 80 meals for lunch and dinner couldn’t possibly satisfy varying tastes. Once again, compromise was necessary. I was most impressed by the variety of activities offered at the community. Participating fully could keep you busy and never bored. Of course, for many, physical constraints were a defining factor. I have been most impressed by our fellow residents. Many have remarkable academic backgrounds and most have a good deal of common sense. The staff here is well motivated and friendly. That is a reflection of good leadership. I should know because I spent most of my working years in a profession where good leadership saved lives. Indeed Marge and I are well satisfied with our decision to move to Springhouse.
It’s all about our ‘residents’ and ‘staff ’ at Woodland!

HOW TO
find residential living
a more close-knit way of life Assisted living homes with 15 or fewer residents are often called group homes or senior care residences. Many people seeking an assisted living environment for themselves or a family member have investigated these homes as an option along with larger assisted living communities. Most of these homes offer the same services as larger communities, except in a smaller and more intimate setting. Considering a group home when researching assisted living is an important step if your loved one would prefer a smaller, homelike environment. Some of these smaller homes specialize in care for Alzheimer’s disease or related memory impairments. Individuals and families get to know each staff member well as they can enjoy participating in the preparation and serv-
ing of meals, housekeeping tasks, gardening, or other daily activities. Food is prepared in small quantities, and residents are encouraged to help. Group homes are usually nestled into neighborhoods, indistinguishable from other surrounding properties. Though regulations governing these homes differ among regions, a variety of agencies (county health departments, social services, long-term care ombudsmen) in most counties and cities provide significant monitoring of homes with four or more beds. Small assisted living facilities allow residents As with any community, it is important to maintain independence. to visit the homes to talk with staff as well as the current residents and their families.

things to look for in senior housing In the AARP Magazine article titled ‘Selecting Senior Housing,’ Dimitra Kessnides outlined some suggestions of things to look for in a potential community including the following: Observe residents. Is their hair clean? Is their clothing soiled? What about the staff? Are they stressed, are they surly or curt? Check out the surroundings. Cleanliness is important, so look for uncollected garbage, dust and dirt. (Odors are normal in nursing homes, especially
when hallways are filled with bins of dirty bed linens). Check the bathrooms, look under the beds, etc. Ask to see the menu. Is there variety and nutritional balance? Is the home sensitive to different dietary needs? You can ask for a copy of the menu and later show it to your parent’s doctor for feedback. Check on where residents eat breakfast. Is it served in bed on a tray? Superior homes will have residents up and out in the dining room. To view this article, visit http://www.

HOW TO
connect, share and inspire
the benefits of networking for seniors
A
s we age, our social circles become smaller and smaller, but conversely our need for socialization increases. At the onset we begin to lose our family to their families, friends move on and our aging bodies may begin to restrict our ability to engage in the development of new circles. So where are seniors and baby boomers going in search of socialization? Seniors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting still and allowing this dynamic to slow them down. In fact, according to a media management company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; comScore, among older people who went online last year, the number visiting social network sites grew almost as fast as the overall rate of Internet use among that group. Seniors have time and an interest in being connected. Many suffer from chronic illnesses and are in search of data and support groups, while others want to feel a part of a community. Others just want a means by which to keep their minds active and a place to journal their thoughts. In fact, some research suggests that loneliness can hasten conditions like dementia and that online social connections may help delay this illness by keeping the mind active.
They need a way to keep the mind lively, to journal their legacy along with daily activities and the sense of support in coping with the day to day challenges associated with the aging process can be primary drivers. Today, there are a number of options on the social networking landscape for seniors and caregivers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one in particular caught our attention. TreatmentDiaries.com has many distinctive attributes and as a result is growing quickly. Few sites capture the daily struggles of coping with a condition with anonymity and international reach to those who share your condition and want to show support. Why is this important? Most begin to feel guilty sharing the details of their condition(s) with family members/friends and would rather connect with those who have empathy and understanding and seek the same level of support. As much as our families love us, they can never truly grasp the challenge without having personally lived it. TreatmentDiaries.com is a unique online resource, providing real information exchange between people coping with or caring for anyone with a chronic illness or rare disease. This virtual support group is free and always available;
AlfredHouse Eldercare, Inc. A Pleasant Alternative to Institutional Care
offering a safe place to anonymously keep multiple diaries of your daily journey, across more than one condition - either privately or shared with others - allowing for shared coping strategies, support for others and the exchange of information. The networking site is dedicated to the needs of all types of users including individual patients, caregivers, family members and advocates. It promotes the importance of keeping a diary of life-changing experiences and the significance of engaging in behaviors and activities which promote health, mental wellness and the self-management of chronic conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to make authentic, quality, lifelong, and if they wish anonymous connections, and inspire others to face their condition,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Ohm, executive director and co-founder of the site. TreatmentDiaries.com was inspired by real stories of people struggling with chronic conditions and in desperate need of support. The goal is to connect those facing similar circumstances and facilitate the sharing of valuable information and support at every stage of an illness through wellness.

HOW TO
care for a loved one
the well spouse association offers support n by Terri Corcoran Marriage has enough challenges when both partners are basically healthy. But if one partner becomes ill or disabled with a chronic condition that is not going to get better, the dynamics of the marriage completely change. In extreme (albeit not rare) cases, when the ill spouse is completely disabled mentally and physically, the well spouse becomes responsible for everything in their lives, from managing the illness with all its inherent medical care complexities to managing finances, home repairs, and parenting if there are children at home. Add to these physical stresses the well spousesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; excruciating grief at watching their life partners become hopelessly ill and disabled. To say the least, the marriage becomes drastically altered and challenged. In
marriages afflicted by certain chronic, degenerative illnesses, well spouses may suffer the painful losses of verbal communication and physical intimacy with their partners. Loss of income is also a major issue if either spouse cannot continue to work. The relationship of well spouses to the outside world also changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; social isolation may result from no longer working outside the home, and it is common for extended family and friends to drift away rather than lend support. As a result, the physical, emotional and mental burdens can become unbearable for well spouses, rendering them exhausted, depressed, frustrated, and feeling trapped and abandoned. The good news is that there is help at the Well Spouse Association (WSA), a
national/international peer-to-peer, nonprofit support organization. Whether on the online Forum or in a face-to-face support group, WSA offers a safe haven for spousal caregivers to talk about their situations openly, to express frustration, anger and grief, and to receive compassionate understanding from others who walk the same difficult journey. In addition, members exchange tips on where to find medical equipment, home health care agencies, and other staples of the caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. WSA meetings are not all glumness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lots of laughter is shared also! There are currently 60 local area WSA support groups throughout the U.S., and two in Canada. For more information, visit www.wellspouse.org or call 800-838-0879.

HOW TO
provide hope & happiness
a caregiver’s perspective For caregivers, the human capacity for hope is a tremendous blessing. It may be the hope that your loved one will make new friends when they move into a senior living community or that they will respond well to a new treatment for a troubling illness. Hope is said to “spring eternal,” but its source is a recognition of our limitations. It is, in effect, an admission that there are things that impact our loved one’s wellbeing that even the most conscientious caretaker cannot have control over. But don’t let the magnitude of the challenges your loved one faces cause you to undervalue your own ability to make a difference. What you can do for your loved one is so much more important than what you can’t. Although you can’t reverse the march
“So many people do so much better in a smaller setting”
of time, you can bring a smile to your loved one’s face or provide a moment of satisfaction and peace. Here are some steps you can take that will always improve the quality of your loved one’s life: Give the gift of companionship. A simple conversation can be wonderfully rejuvenating. The topic doesn’t have to be particularly meaningful or significant. What counts is that you take the occasion to convey your true regard and your appreciation for your loved one’s experience and point of view. Serve as their link to the greater world. A human being’s sense of curi-
osity is impressively resilient. When you scan the paper in the morning or listen to the news, mentally tag the items you think will give your loved one pleasure.
When you bring these topics up, you’re implicitly telling them that their interests are important. You’ll also be keeping them involved and giving them a few moments relief from their own concerns. Be a hands-on caregiver. As people grow older, they become physically isolated from other people. The opportunity for a caring human touch becomes rarer and rarer. As a caregiver, you have a great opportunity to restore this loss. There are few gestures more life-affirming than holding your loved one’s hand or giving them a warm, heartfelt hug or shoulder rub. Your capacity for hope and your capacity to act go hand in hand. A good attitude gives you the power to envision a better future, while the actions you take today can enrich the present moment.

assisted living residents and children beat to the same drum
M
ost people think of bingo and bridge as the primary activities in senior living communities. These days, however, there are dozens of unique and innovative programming concepts being offered in communities. In fact, drum circles are a welcomed new offering at dozens of communities throughout the region thanks to Alan Yellowitz, founder of The Beat Goes On, a company that facilitates percussionbased activities. According to Yellowitz, these musical activities are a great way to enable individuals to come together and contribute to the group in their own way. “Drum circles are all about forming a community of folks that are creating rhythms together; everyone has their piece,” he said. Two local assisted living communities have even used drum circles to expand the community beyond their walls and forge relationships with local schools and children. Sunrise at Bluemont Park in Arlington, Va. had a program in which the residents of the community were pen pals with second graders at Ashlawn Elementary School. The community then held a drum circle led by Yellowitz as a way to connect the residents and children for their first face-to-face meeting. Another community promoting this
In April 2010 residents of Tall Oaks Assisted Living hosted 22 children from Sunset Hills Montessori to participate together in an intergenerational drum circle.
activity is Tall Oaks Assisted Living in Reston, Va., where Yellowitz first led drum circles with the residents and then students at Sunset Hills Montessori. The two groups then joined together for a large intergenerational drum circle, which also kicked off a new program. “We were excited to connect our students with the seniors to share and learn
about music and culture together,” said Melissa Christopher Green, a music teacher at Sunset Hills Montessori. Not only are these drum circles a new and fun activity to keep residents engaged, but they have proved to be a beneficial way to span generations and connect residents of a community with nearby individuals of all ages.

HOW TO
engage loved ones
implementing person-centered care simply and spontaneously n By Karen Love Research has validated high success rates of applying Montessori-based techniques therapeutically to enhance physical and cognitive functions, reduce excess disability, and support well-being among elders. Besides Montessori’s efficacy, it is also easy, fun and inexpensive to implement. Because of its ease and positive values, staff are able to experience shortterm success. This success is personally rewarding to staff and provides encouragement for them to continue to increase their skills and expertise while also providing opportunities to nurture positive relationships with elders – which in turn enhances staff job satisfaction and retention. One day I observed a housekeeper in an assisted living residence pass by a
table where a resident was engrossed in using tongs to pick up ping pong balls and place them into ice cube trays. Also on the table was a container full of 80 multi-colored shower curtain rings. The housekeeper quietly pulled up a chair and began clipping the shower curtain rings together. Before long, she had strung together 25 rings. The resident looked up and told her “she was doing a great job and to keep up the good work.” She laughed and bantered back that he was pretty good with the tongs; had he honed that skill barbecuing? This got them talking about their favorite food to barbecue. The residence’s maintenance man was nearby and joined the conversation by detailing his recipe for mouth-watering barbecue sauce. Two staff members
and a resident spent a spontaneous five minutes together and ended up laughing and sharing fond memories of past meals. I shared this encounter with the resident’s daughter the next time I saw her. I was laughing remembering the funny barbecue recipe containing beer, honey, ketchup and most everything else in the maintenance man’s refrigerator when I noticed the daughter’s eyes welling. She looked up and said this story made her so happy. She was remembering how her father was asked to leave another facility because of his agitated behavior. The use of simple, everyday items to stimulate and engage her father not only helped enhance his physical function and wellbeing, but also effectively addressed his behavior challenges.

HOW TO
protect your family’s assets
an attorney reveals how to afford nursing home costs In 2010, more than 7,000 people turned 65 years old or older every single day, a figure that is predicted to rise in 2011. Further, an AARP survey revealed that only 4 in 10 of those people feel they will be financially secure for their golden years. For many, that lack of financial stability will transform from being a worry to becoming a crisis if they discover they’ll need any kind of assisted living. That’s why Gabriel Heiser, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in nursing home law, believes that people should start planning now, even if they aren’t close to their 65th birthdays. “The average monthly cost of a nursing home today is $6,917 per month, and a typical Alzheimer’s patient will spend $395,000 for their nursing home care after diagnosis,”
said Heiser, author of How to Protect Your Family’s Assets from Devastating Nursing Home Costs: Medicaid Secrets (www.MedicaidSecrets.com). “Those costs are only going to rise, so it’s important to plan now. One important benefit to consider is Medicaid, which can help offset a good amount of those costs, but only if you know what it takes to qualify for those benefits.” The mistake a lot of people make is thinking that they can’t qualify for Medicaid, according to Heiser. “Many feel that because they own a home or have some assets that they can’t qualify for Medicaid help with their nursing home and doctor’s bills,” he said. “The truth is there are a variety of assets people can own and still qualify. It’s just a matter of knowing the rules, and making a plan to
meet those requirements.” Heiser listed the asset limits for those applying for Medicaid. They include: • Cash – You can possess $2,000 cash that will not be counted as an asset in determining your Medicaid eligibility. • Home – There is a $500,000 exclusion toward your home, meaning that if your home is valued at $500,000 or less at the time of your application, it is excluded as an asset. Some states use the higher permitted exemption of $750,000. • Car – Up until recently, you could exclude only one car at a value of $4,500 or less, however that law has been changed. Now, one automobile of ANY current market value is excluded on your application. • Funeral and Burial Funds – If you Continued on page 164

have a pre-planned funeral or memorial arrangement, the entire value of that plan is excluded. If you do not, a separate bank account that contains $1,500 toward funeral expenses can be excluded. If you have pre-purchased burial plots, you can exclude not only the costs of the plot for the applicant, but for the entire family, and still be eligible for Medicaid. • Property – According to federal law, any real or personal property that is essential to self-support, regardless of value or rate of return, is excluded. That could
include farms, rental properties and other real estate investments that generate income necessary for self-support. For rental income, however, the property must generate at least 6 percent of its value annually in order to qualify for the exclusion. • Life Insurance – Only the cash value of a life insurance policy owned by the applicant is counted, thus, all term policies are ignored. “There are so many other rules that can benefit those who aren’t sure they’ll have enough when the time comes,” Heiser added. “The key is to plan now and act now. These laws exist for your protection, and avoiding the discussion and the
planning necessary to take care of the potential complications just because it is an unpleasant topic will only result in a more unpleasant conversation when you realize you’re not ready when the worst happens. That can be a very expensive dilemma. Peace of mind right now, however, won’t cost a dime, and could save you hundreds of thousands of dimes later.” K. Gabriel Heiser, J.D., has focused exclusively on estate planning and Medicaid eligibility planning, including trusts, estates, gifts, and related tax issues, since graduating from Boston University School of Law in 1983.

HOW TO
find help for long-term care issues and needs
T
he word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A Long-Term Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs, and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to allow you to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help to resolve complaints against specific long-term care providers. Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a longterm care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the com-
munity at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of long-term care providers. Using the “Resident’s Bill of Rights” (page 166), an Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities.
vestigation, then a signed waiver of rights to resident confidentiality is required, so that the Ombudsman can review the records and speak to facility staff. The Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care recipient during this investigation. He/ she will gather facts and relevant information in order to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem. For these reasons, your local Ombudsman is an important part of the continuum of care available in your community. If you have questions about long-term care providers, a complaint about a specific provider or for more information regarding long-term care issues/needs, please contact your Area Agency on Aging in order to locate an Ombudsman in your community.
What can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address your complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint investigation, and negotiation. Following a thorough investigation, the Ombudsman will work with you and the long-term care provider to help resolve your concern(s). The counseling you receive from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help you to become an advocate for yourself or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to your complaint and then offer information and referrals via the This article was adapted from www. telephone, email, or at an in- person visit fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia Long-Term to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal in- Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

Infusion Ther a py
understanding home infusion therapy
W
hen Mr. Phillips was unexpectedly admitted to an area hospital and diagnosed with a serious infection, he was immediately started on antibiotics that were administered directly into the blood stream through a catheter in his arm. As he started feeling better, the hospital case manager spoke to him about finishing his therapy at home and choosing a pharmacy to provide the “infusion” services. The thought of going home with a catheter in his arm was overwhelming and Mr. Phillips wasn’t sure how to choose an infusion company he could trust. Mr. Phillips’ story happens each day in area hospitals. Patients find themselves needing intravenous antibiotics or other infusions that can be safely administered at home and minimize disruptions of the patient’s lifestyle and work activities. While many individuals prefer to receive treatment at home, going home on infusion medications can cause anxiety due to a lack of experience. Fortunately, there are devices available for administration of home intravenous medications that are safe and very easy to use. Infusion therapy involves the administration of medication directly into a vein. It is prescribed when a patient’s condition is severe enough that it cannot be treated effectively with oral medications. Infusion of these medications can be short or long term depending on the diagnosis and severity of the infection. There are also other reasons that you
When choosing a home infusion company, patients can ask an infectious disease physician or specialist for recommendations. They should inquire about a company’s reputation for customer service, clinical excellence and professionalism while asking if they can provide a clinical liaison to visit and answer all questions. It is also important the company provide the following services: • Verification of insurance coverage and communication of out-of-pocket expenses? • Filing of all insurance claims for infusion services? • Same day delivery of medications and supplies to my home via private courier? • Pharmacist and nurse availability 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. • Coordination of nursing and all home health needs, with provision of further instruction and care during treatment. • Regular communication with the physician ensuring appropriate care and consultation with regards to lab monitoring and clinical outcomes. • Meeting quality standards and accreditation requirements of a nationally-recognized organization. • Compounding medications in a state of the art, USP 797 compliant pharmacy. • The easiest method of delivery available for the infusion without additional charges.
might need a home infusion company to provide medication. The most common types of therapy that need a home infusion company are anti- infectives, Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), Enteral Nutrition, Chemotherapy, Pain Management and Catheter care. The most frequently used infusion therapy is IV antibiotics; prescribed primarily for such diagnoses as cellulitis, sepsis, and osteomyelitis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sinusitis. Home infusion therapy is appropriate for patients or caregivers that can learn to be independent with the administration of the medication. The patient or caregiver will be taught to safely administer the medication at home and have weekly visits by the infusion nurse. Some people return to work with their physician’s approval, and resume all of their activities. Fortunately Mr. Phillips’ case manager has since arranged for a clinical liaison from Infuscience to speak to him about his therapy before leaving the hospital. The infusion company will coordinate with the hospital and physician to safely provide his medications at home. They will also briefly show the patient how to administer the medication, answering any questions. After verifying his insurance benefits, discussing coverage, and coordinating the delivery of medication to the home, an experienced infusion nurse will meet him at home and teach him medication administration and catheter care. The nurse will stay with Mr. Phillips until he is comfortable and independent with his infusions.

Alzheimer’s
HOW TO
choose alzheimer’s care
a special care residence may be the right option
S
pecial care units are a relatively new concept, so certification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address these programs. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell, and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they’ve had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment.
All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident.
Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit. Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They
may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented, and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety.

boost your brain health urveys of adult “baby boomers” consistently find that memory loss is a top concern, and Alzheimer’s disease is their most feared disabling disease.
Adopting a brain healthy lifestyle can not only help keep your brain healthier as you age but also protect you from chronic illnesses. To protect your brain, follow these recommendations. Stay Physically Active Exercise helps maintain good blood flow to the brain, encourages the growth of new brain cells and can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, which are all conditions that put you at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Just 30 minutes a day will get the body moving and the heart pumping. Adopt a Brain Healthy Diet Like the heart, the brain needs the right balance of nutrients to function well. A brain-healthy diet reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes, encourages good blood flow to the brain, and is low in fat and cholesterol. Stay Socially Active Research shows that people who are regularly engaged in social interaction maintain their brain vitality. Stay active in the workplace, have lunch with friends, go

How Do I Pay for Hospice? Most services are fully or partially covered by Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers, or prepaid health plans. The non-medical services available in Montgomery County are free and delivered by a staff of trained volunteers. For traditional hospice services, financial assistance is available. NHPCO notes that, “Eighty percent of people who use hospice care are over the age of 65, and are thus entitled to the services offered by the Medicare Hospice Benefit. This benefit covers virtually all aspects of hospice care with little out-ofpocket expense.” In order to receive the Medicare Hospice Benefit, patients must be eligible for Medicare Part A, have a terminal disease or condition with a less than six months prognosis, and sign a document certifying that they are choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits. Patients may only receive covered benefits from a Medicare-approved hospice program. In addition to Medicare’s coverage, hospice services are also generally covered by Medicaid or private insurers.

Myths and Facts About Hospice Myth: Hospice is where you go when there is “nothing else to be done.” Reality: Hospice is the “something more” that can be done for the patient and the family when the illness cannot be cured. It is a concept based on comfort-oriented care. Referral into hospice is a movement into another mode of therapy, which may be more appropriate for terminal care. Myth: Families should be isolated from a dying patient. Reality: Hospice staff believe that when family members (including children) experience the dying process in a caring environment, it helps counteract the fear of their own mortality and the mortality of their loved one. Myth: Hospice care is more expensive. Reality: Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly. Frequently it is less expensive than conventional care during the last six months of life. Less high-cost technology is used, and family, friends, and volunteers provide 90% of the day-to-day patient care at home. Additionally, patients eligible for Medicare or Medicaid will pay few out of pocket expenses related to their hospice care. Most private insurers also cover some or most hospice related expenses. Myth: You can’t keep your own doctor if you enter hospice. Reality: Hospice physicians work closely with your doctor of choice to determine a plan of care.)

The following is just one of the many questions answered in HFAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ask an Expert section at www.agis.com/community/Ask-The-Experts. How do you know when hospice is appropriate?
Answer: The patient, family and/ or physician can initiate a hospice information/referral call or visit as soon as a terminal disease is diagnosed. When the patient would like to move from a treatment plan focused on curing the disease
to a plan focused on providing comfort and relief, they may choose hospice care. At this point, the local hospice workers will meet with the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal physician, the patient and the family to discuss available services and expectations and to develop a plan of care designed specifically for the patient and family needs.

Answer: The best way to find local grief support information is to contact some of the local hospice programs in your area. Explain to them that you may be looking for support for a specific loss. They may know who to refer you to in your area. Although they may be a national program, they may be able to refer you to local chapters, programs, or people who can assist you with a specific loss.

HOW TO
cope with a loss
understand your feelings and learn how to begin healing
A
fter a significant death or loss, you may experience feelings that are unfamiliar in their intensity and duration. You may notice thoughts and behavior that are different or disturbing. Many people experience a kind of spiritual crisis following a major loss. Anger is common, whether it’s directed toward a situation, a particular person, or life in general. Grieving people may have unusual dreams, be absent-minded, withdraw socially, or lack the desire to participate in activities that used to be enjoyable. While these feelings and behaviors are normal during grief, they generally change over time. In general, grief makes room for a lot of thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs that might be considered unusual at other times. Following significant loss, however, most of these components of grief are, in fact, quite normal. One method of dealing with grief is to be more aware of the ways we express it. Even the exact words we use (to ourselves and to others) can make a difference. For example, when we think, “I regret that I was not in the room when he died,” we’re less likely to wallow in the feeling than if
we think, “I feel guilty that I was not in the our ability to cope; some things are simply room when he died.” bigger than we are and require more resources than we have available.

HOW TO
remain at home
receive assistance while enjoying the comforts of home Home care can include a wide variety of healthcare and supportive services from professional nursing and home health aide services to physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies. An advancing industry, home healthcare is essentially skilled nursing care and certain other forms of healthcare that you get in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. It is an important option to consider regardless of one’s age or health conditions. Options in Home Care An incredibly diverse field, home care can serve a variety of need levels such as companion, home health, skilled nursing or hospice care. COMPANION CARE is provided by caregivers or companions, who serve as surrogate family members, performing many of
Since 1989
22nd Anniversary
the tasks that family members would typically complete. Assistance from companion caregivers can include meal preparation, medication reminders, laundry, light housekeeping, shopping, transportation and assistance with exercising. The overall goals of the companion care provider are to ensure that the home environment remains safe and that the individual has a companion to spend time with when family is not available. HOME HEALTHCARE is for those who are no longer able to perform all of the functions of daily living by themselves but who do not require skilled medical services. A home health aide can help with activities of daily living (ADLs), which include bathing, dressing, transferring, eating and toileting. Additional services generally include meal preparation, mobility exer-

cises, housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders and transportation. SKILLED NURSING CARE is prescribed by a physician and is administered by a registered nurse. The services provided by skilled nurses include: administering injections, administering medications, wound care, IV monitoring, blood tests, catheter care, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, feeding tube administration and more. Finding a Provider After determining the type and amount of services needed along with payment options, consumers should begin interviewing potential providers. This is a highly important decision since finding a qualified, reliable and compassionate individual is essential to the health and happiness of patients and their families.

HOW TO
pay for home care
understanding costs can help with decision making As the desire to remain at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments and range from $15-$25 per hour. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicarecertified agency. Prices for home health care also range from $15-$25 per hour. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from
state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information concerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech, and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover Individuals who meet income requirements a limited number of skilled home vis- may be eligible to receive skilled nursing its. Costs for these services vary greatly services through Medicaid. depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. if there are funds from social services Contact your local Office on Aging or block grants available to cover home State Department of Health to find out care costs.

Home Car e Plan ahead: Secure your Valuables Before opening your home to any service provider, including in-home caregivers, you should take a few steps to make sure that you protect yourself and the caregiver. Taking these steps does not demonstrate a lack of trust in the provider. It is simply logical to make sure that you look after your assets. You should place any of the following items in a safety deposit box or other secure location: n n n
Small valuables Irreplaceable or sentimental items Small family heirlooms
Questions to Ask When Hiring Paid Caregivers If facing this decision, the following questions will help in making a safe and educated decision:
1. If the hired caregiver becomes ill or
otherwise unavailable, what alternate arrangements can be made?
homeowners’ insurance policies exclude such injuries via “domestic employee exclusions.”
2. Are social security, federal and state
5. Are criminal history background checks,
3. Is there verification that the paid
6. Is there bonding and insurance in place
taxes, and unemployment insurance paid so the family is not legally responsible?
caregivers can legally work in the U.S.?
4. If the hired caregiver is injured, who
is responsible? Remember that many
or damages related to the caregiver(s) working in the home.
7. Assuming family is not available to
supervise paid caregivers at all times, will there be documentation that substantiates the completion of services?
state abuse registry checks, and prior work reference checks completed?
If the adult caregiver does not have the time or resources available to answer these important questions, the services of a professional home care agency or adult day care center may be the right solution.
that would cover any injury to the client, damage, or theft? When an agency says they are “bonded,” family members should be sure that this covers injury

choosing where to live By Suzi Klyber Choosing where to live as you age is not an easy decision. There are so many variables that come into play. As a home care therapist, I often see people in the wrong setting for them. They do not have a clue where they would benefit most from living. Often, the family of the senior automatically assumes that they need to be moved to an assisted living. Gaining an awareness of how to effectively make the right choice is important. How do you choose? What affects your choices? Ability to perform all of our activities of daily living? Cost of active living, assistive living centers versus living in your own home with help? Is your home accessible? If not can it be made accessible with simple changes?
Cost of moving versus making necessary changes that allow you to stay in your own home? Do you have family close by to help with activities of daily living if necessary? Are your county Area on Aging Services available to you at your income level? Do you have the ability to pay someone to perform the activities of daily living we cannot or choose to no longer perform? Do you prefer to stay close to your own doctors, church community, and friends? Are you able to drive or do you need a ride everywhere you go? Do you move closer to your children? Think about this decision in terms of will your adult children stay where they are once they retire. Do you have the money set aside to pay for assisted living and/or a nursing
home? Are you aware of the cost and/or the breakdown of costs? Children of seniors please remember you are simply a consultant to your parents until such a time that they are no longer able to make those decisions themselves. Work with them and if need be, bring in experts to evaluate the level of help they ultimately need (i.e.: senior care managers, social workers from your county, geriatric psychiatrists, occupational therapists that perform the KELS evaluation, Aging-InPlace Contractors). Forcing them into your way of thinking only destroys your relationship with them. Remember to work together as a team. Ask questions and be open and willing to learn what they both desire and need. Suzi Klyber, OTR/L, is a Home Care Therapist for The Medical Team & Consultant for Granting-You-Access.

HOW TO
make aging in place possible
professionals can help modify the home for your needs Countless studies have shown that homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to age in a familiar place, but when daily life can become too much to manage, substantial home alternations may be necessary. Certified Aging-In-Place Specialists (CAPS) can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility. Such specialists have been trained in the specific needs of the older adult population and unique ways to modify homes. They are also experts in designing common remodeling projects and on how to combat common barriers to accessibility. One thing to keep in mind when considering a CAPS specialist is that they offer a service in drawing from their professional knowledge to help turn your ideas into an organized and thorough
plan. However, no matter where you start in the process, a professional remodeler will have to be hired to make the actual modifications to your home. Some typi-
CAPS can help reconcile the need for a familiar environment with the need to prioritize safety and accessibility.
cal modifications that will increase access and maneuverability include brighter lights, bath and shower grab bars, countertop heights, multifunctional first floor master suites, and elevators. CAPS professionals are mostly remodelers, but a number of general contractors, designers, architects and health care consultants who have been instructed in techniques for building aestheticallypleasing, barrier-free living environments are also involved in planning. CAPS was developed by The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in conjunction with the NAHB Research Center, NAHB 50+ Housing Council and the AARP in order to address the growing number of consumers requiring these modifications.

HOW TO
incorporate safety strategies
a word from the northern virginia fall prevention coalition
T
he odds of a significant fall after age 65 in the United States are about one in three. Fortunately, most of these falls arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grim. Yet, falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death among older adults. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the fear of falling overshadow your life. Here are six fall-prevention strategies that can help you avoid a fall event. Begin your fall-prevention plan by making an appointment with your doctor. You and your doctor can take a comprehensive look at your environment, your health and your medications to identify situations when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re vulnerable to falling. Include all the prescription and overthe-counter medications you take, along with the dosages, or bring them with you. Your doctor can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling. Additionally, your doctor will want to know about eye and ear disorders that may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss these when you are walking. Also, explain any bouts of dizziness, joint pain, numbness or shortness of breath that impacts your walking ability.
If you are inactive, consider starting a general exercise program. Consider activities such as walking, water workouts, tai chi or chi qong, uses breathing along with gentle movement. Activities reduce your risk of falls by improving your strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. Get your doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval prior to beginning an exercise program. Consider changing your footwear as part of your fall-prevention plan. Stacked heels, floppy slippers and shoes with slick soles can impair a solid step, even walking in your stocking feet. Have your feet measured each time you buy shoes, your size can change with weight or medication intake. And, select lace-up shoes instead of slip-ons. Scrutinize your living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, hallways and stairways may be filled with land mines waiting to trip you up. Clutter can get in your way, but so can the decorative accents you add to your home. Remove boxes, newspapers, electrical cords and phone cords from walkways. Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing. Store clothing, dishes, food and other household necessities within easy reach
and use nonslip mats in your bathtub or shower. As we age, a reduced amount of light reaches the back of your eye where color and motion are sensed. Keep your home brightly illuminated with 100-watt bulbs or higher to avoid tripping on objects. Install a lamp near your bed so you can use it when you get up at night. And, place night lights in your bedroom, bathroom, hallways or any foot traffic area. Use assistive devices when you need them. Your doctor might recommend using a cane or walker to keep you steady. Consider using grab bars mounted inside and just outside your shower or bathtub. Install raised toilets or ones with armrests to stabilize your stance. Last, install a sturdy plastic seat in your shower or tub so that you can sit down when necessary. Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. Falls are preventable!

finding and evaluating an aging-in-place specialist Compare how much money you have to spend on a project and compare it to the cost of moving for a financial perspective. To find CAPS, seek referrals from others who may have had similar work done. Before you commit to a remodeler, verify with your local state office of consumer protection and Better Business Bureau that he/she has the appropriate license(s) in your state. Ask for a writ-
ten estimate of the work your remodeler will perform based on your own specifications. Be firm, but prepared to pay the total amount in full. Finally, select a professional with plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, the lowest price does not always ensure a successful modeling project and home improvement is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

REVIEW MEDICATIONS The medications you takeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and even the foods you eatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can affect your balance. Check with your doctor or pharmacist annually to review your medications and diet plan.
BATHROOM SAFETY Install grab bars in your bathtub or shower stall and near a toilet. Never use towel racks for balanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they can easily come loose, causing a fall.
Used with permission from The Home Safety Council
Making A SAFER HOME for Seniors NON-SKID RUGS Remove throw rugs, or use rubber backing or apply double-faced adhesive carpet tape to the backs of all area rugs and runners to prevent slipping, or remove them.
HANDRAILS Install handrails on both sides of all stairwaysâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making sure they extend the full length of the stairway. Also make sure you have lights at the top and bottom of the stairs. FOOTWEAR Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to wear thin, non-slip soled shoes, not thick-soled jogging shoes.
EXERCISE DAILY Using your muscles helps maintain balance, strength, and flexibility. Try Tai Chi, walking, water aerobics, or dancing.

Area Demonstration Projects Showcase Universal Design Many times it is difficult to fully understand and appreciate the function, utility and beauty of Universal Design. Words and pictures cannot replace visiting a home and discovering the benefits of design first-hand. However, it can be challenging to schedule visits to a home that is occupied by a resident. Demonstration projects present an opportunity for interested consumers to experience first-hand the features and benefits of Universal Design to help implement these concepts into their own space. Innovative Model of Living at Vinson Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mclean, VA
One of the most unique approaches to a demonstration project has been created at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, VA. Residents of the community worked closely with management and award-winning design expert Moira Leite to create the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;apartment of the future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; This model apartment is beautiful and accessible but, through intentional design, assists in prolonging the independence and enhancing the quality of life of the residents. The apartment incorporates features and products that enhance utility, mobility and safety within
the space. It serves as a model apartment for future residents, a prototype for the renovation of existing residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apartments and an opportunity for the public to discover improvements they can make to their private residences. Kathy Martin, CEO of Vinson Hall and a retired Navy rear admiral, shares. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is exciting for us, as well as the community at large. We have an opportunity to enhance living here for our seniors. I believe we have an opportunity to be a model for the community and to partner in outreach.â&#x20AC;?

The finished house will be home to six lowincome seniors and will serve as a model for others in the U.S. and around the world who want to create living spaces that let seniors age in place.

the neighborhood you dream about
the village movement is prompting communities to think about creative solutions for aging in place. Imagine you are living in a community where you know your neighbors. Imagine that your patio needs weeding, and you prefer not to do it. In this neighborhood, a simple phone call can have someone over to take care of your weeding. Perhaps you need some home repairs, or you are returning home from the hospital after surgery and need some assistance. In this neighborhood, you can get assistance from trusted volunteers and providers with one phone call. This type of neighborhood is becoming a reality, and the Washington, D.C. region is the launching pad for several.
as possible, according to a survey by AARP. The challenge these individuals face, however, is that if they do nothing to prepare for future needs, they may not be able to continue living in their homes as long as they would like. Residents of Beacon Hill, a downtown Boston neighborhood, responded to the challenge of staying in their community by joining their neighbors to take control over where and how they will live in the years to come. They formed a non-profit, Beacon Hill Village, which serves those aged 50+ in central Boston, to take advantage of social, cultural and wellness activities without leaving their How it all Started homes. The various services provided Nearly 90 percent of Baby Boom- are designed to respond to the members’ ers say they want to stay in their homes specific needs and wants which include and close to family and friends as long concierge services, comprehensive home
care, home repair, house cleaning, grocery shopping, transportation and other services. Where it is going In 2007, Beacon Hill Village sponsored a workshop which community leaders from 27 states attended. The Village to Village Network has been formed to offer leaders the opportunity to share resources and connect. There are now dozens of groups at various stages of development in the Washington metro region and they have formed a group, Washington Area Villages (WAV), that meets regularly.

HOW TO
fill the gaps in medicare
choosing the right plan and provider for you n By Susan Morisato
M
edicare is a vital part of a health insurance portfolio for millions of Americans. However, beneficiaries must still find ways to pay for the things Medicare doesn’t cover, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance charges. Medicare supplement insurance can help fill these gaps. Selecting a Plan First, identify your needs, and then identify a Medicare supplement plan that will meet them. Consider which of Medicare’s deductibles and coinsurance charges are most important for you to cover. In most states, Medicare enrollees may select from any one of 12 standardized Medicare supplement plans approved for sale within their state of residence. Plans start with a basic benefits plan, Plan A, which provide coverage for Part A and Part B coinsurance and continue up through the comprehensive Plan J, which provides supplemental coverage for nearly all of Medicare’s gaps. After you’ve identified a plan or two that appears to meet your coverage needs, then it’s time to select an insurance provider. Choosing a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider It is important to investigate the plan providers in your state in order to find one

Understanding Home Health Care Benefits When it comes to understanding Medicare coverage, many individuals can find themselves in a complex web of information. This especially applies to those who want to know if they are eligible for Medicare coverage when entering a nursing home or receiving home health care. Below is some helpful information on whether you can use your home heath care benefits if you have Medicare and what services and products it will cover. First, you can use your home health care benefits if all of the following applies to your situation. Your doctor must prescribe that you need medical care at home and create a care plan. The care you need has to be intermittent in the form of skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy. The home health agency must be Medicare-certified and you must be homebound, or unable to leave the home unassisted.

Once you have established those requirements, it is important to understand what Medicare will actually cover, which includes the following:

The following are just a few of the general questions the U.S. Social Security Administration answers regarding Social Security and Medicare. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov Question: When a Social Security beneficiary dies, does the funeral home notify Social Security or is the death notification up to the family?
Answer: Many funeral directors voluntarily provide death information directly to Social Security. But, family members of a deceased individual still should notify Social Security. For information on what action to take when a beneficiary dies, see our online publication, What To Do When A Beneficiary Dies, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/deathbenefits.htm
Question: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard you can apply for retirement benefits online. But isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it easier just to go into an office?
Answer: Filing online means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to travel to a local Social Security office or wait for an appointment with a Social Security representative. Retiring online is easy and convenient. You can apply in as little as 15 minutes. In most cases, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no papers to sign or mail in. Want to learn more? Visit www.socialsecurity.gov and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retirementâ&#x20AC;? tab in the top, left corner. Our website will: â&#x20AC;˘ Walk you through the application process; â&#x20AC;˘ Tell you what information youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to answer the questions on the application; and â&#x20AC;˘ Describe the documents you may need to present after you apply. So what are you waiting for? Get started now at www.socialsecurity.gov

HOW TO
utilize social securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement estimator
a convenient and quick financial planning tool n By Mike Weakland Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 75th anniversary of Social Security. However, there is another important birthday going on. Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online Retirement Estimator is now celebrating its second anniversary. The Retirement Estimator stands as the most popular online service in both the public and private sector â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a position it shares with another popular service, Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Benefit Application. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to the most recent annual American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), which came out earlier this year. In an index ranking online services, Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Retirement Estimator and Benefit Application take the top spots, each with a score of 90. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest ranking service in the private sector? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Netflix, with a score of 87, tying with Social Securi-
tyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs application. The online Retirement Estimator is a convenient, secure, and quick financial planning tool that lets you calculate how much you might expect to receive in Social Security benefits when retirement rolls around. The tool uses your actual earnings information on file at Social Security, without displaying your personal information. So you get an instant estimate of your future retirement benefits. The Retirement Estimator even lets you run personalized scenarios and â&#x20AC;&#x153;what ifâ&#x20AC;? situations. For example, you can change the date you expect to retire or change expected future earnings to create and compare different retirement options. This can help you as you plan ahead. And, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so easy to use.

To use the Retirement Estimator, you must have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits and you must not already be receiving monthly benefits. We may take a few moments to celebrate this birthday, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not resting on our laurels just yet. Later this year Social Security plans to introduce a Spanish-language version of the Retirement Estimator. High customer service scores are a great birthday present for the two-year-old Retirement Estimator. Come join the celebration and get an instant, personalized estimate of your future Social Security benefits. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.

HOW TO
apply online as a spouse
you may be eligible for spouse’s benefits n by Jackie Collins-Miller You probably already know that when it comes time to apply for retirement, you can do it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyonline. But did you know that spouses can apply online, too? If you are a spouse applying for benefits based on your husband’s or wife’s record, you can do it online from the convenience of your own home. Wonder whether you may qualify to apply for spouse’s benefits? If you are a spouse who has not worked or who has worked for very low wages, you could be entitled to a benefit equal to as much as one-half of your retired spouse’s full benefit. Even if you are divorced, you may be eligible for benefits based on the employment record of your former spouse. To get benefits on your spouse’s re-
cord, you must be at least age 62 or have a qualifying child in your care — a child who is under age 16 or who receives Social Security disability benefits. The amount of your spousal benefit depends on your age at retirement. If you begin receiving benefits before full retirement age, your benefits will be permanently reduced in most cases. You also may be eligible for a retirement benefit based on your own earnings. If that benefit is higher than the spousal benefit, Social Security would pay you the higher benefit. We compare which of the two benefits would be more beneficial to you, and discuss the options you have. If you have reached your full retirement age and are eligible for a spouse’s benefit as well as your own retirement
benefit, you may choose to receive the spouse’s benefits only in order to continue accruing delayed retirement credits on your own Social Security record. You may then file for benefits at a later date and receive a higher monthly benefit based on the effect of delayed retirement credits. Remember that if you are a spouse who is taking care of a minor child (16 or under) or a child who is disabled and gets Social Security benefits on your or your spouse’s record, you can receive a benefit, regardless of your retirement age. Jackie is the Social Security Area Director in Owings Mills, Md. Read more about Social Security Retirement Benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10035.html

caregiver tips in helping with medicare by Ross Blair, PlanPrescriber.com 1. Manage Timelines Effectively: Medicare eligibility begins for U.S. citizens and legal residents when they turn 65. A person has a seven-month initial enrollment period that begins three months before their birthday month and ends three months after. During this initial enrollment period, a person can enroll in Original Medicare (Parts A&B), a prescription drug plan (Medicare Part D) or a Medicare Advantage plan. If you want to enroll in a medigap (Medicare supplement insurance) policy, the open-enrollment period starts the first month the person is both 65 and enrolled in Part B, and lasts for 6 months. During that 6-month medigap enrollment period, a person has a guaranteed right to buy any medigap policy sold in their state. 2. Don’t Expect a Notification: If the person you’re caring for began re-
ceiving their Social Security benefits before age 65, they don’t have to apply for Original Medicare when they turn 65. I have no idea what the first sentence and the following sentence have to do with each other. But, nobody else should expect to receive a notice from Medicare when they turn 65. Medicare puts the responsibility on the individual senior to begin the enrollment process. 3. Know Your Loved One’s Prescription Drugs: Compile a list of the future Medicare beneficiary’s current prescription drugs: names, dosages and required frequency of use. Then use the prescription drug plan comparison tool at PlanPrescriber.com to: - Find out if the drugs on your list are generic or available in generic form. If a generic drug is available, ask the Medicare beneficiary’s primary doctor if it makes sense to switch from a to a lower-cost ge-
neric alternative. - Compare prescription drug plans and choose what’s right for the beneficiary? And then help the beneficiary enroll online or over the phone. 4. Beware of Fraud: Identify and report any Medicare fraud, abuse or scams. To be on the lookout, carefully review the ‘Explanation of Benefits’ statements received for all regular Medicare and Part D services. Review bills from all providers to make sure you are paying for only the services or equipment the Medicare beneficiary received. Be careful about giving out any personal information (your own or your loved one’s) to individuals or organizations. There is a helpful section on fraud and specific tips to avoid fraud at www.Medicare.gov. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has neither reviewed nor endorsed this information.

marci’s medicare answers Dear Marci, Original Medicare won’t pay for a health care service I received. What can I do? —Xiang,
Dear Xiang, If Original Medicare will not pay for care you received, you will find this out when you receive your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN). If you think the care you received is medically necessary, you should not take no for an answer. 1. Find out if it is possible that there was a billing mistake. Sometimes providers accidentally use the wrong service codes when filling out Medicare paperwork, and this can result in Medicare denials. A denial can sometimes be easily resolved by asking your doctor MTG 7x2_3125 7x2_3125 Pennsy Pennsy 4c.pdf 4c.pdf MTG
to double-check that your claim was submitted with the correct codes. If the wrong code was used, ask your doctor to resubmit the claim with the correct code. 2. If the provider believes that the claim was correctly coded or is unwilling to refile the claim, your next step is to appeal. The MSN will have instructions for how to appeal. Follow these instructions and then mail the signed original to Medicare at the address on the MSN. Make sure you request your appeal within 120 days of receiving the MSN. If possible, get a letter from your health care provider saying that you needed the service and why. Send this with your MSN. Keep photocopies and records of all communication, whether written or

oral, with Medicare concerning your denial. Send your appeal certified mail or delivery confirmation. Note: You cannot appeal to Medicare to cover services or items that are never covered, such as hearing aids. —Marci Dear Marci, How does Medicaid work with Medicare to cover my health care costs? —William

does not cover. For services that both Medicare and Medicaid can cover (such as doctor visits, hospital care, home care and skilled nursing facility care), Medicare will pay first and Medicaid will pay second by covering your remaining costs, such as Medicare coinsurances and copayments. If you have Medicare and Medicaid, you should be able to go to any doctor or provider who takes Medicare, Medicaid or who is in your Medicare private health planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network without having to pay the Medicare coinsurances or deductibles. You may still have to pay the Medicaid copayment for the service, depending on the rules in your state. However, if you go to see a provider who takes Medicare and Medicaid, the
provider is most likely to bill correctly. Medicaid can cover much more long-term care than Medicare does. Medicare requirements for coverage of long-term care services, such as home care and skilled nursing facility services, are generally stricter than Medicaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and the coverage itself is much more limited. Medicaid will also pay for medical services not covered at all by Medicare as long as they are covered by Medicaid. Such services may include routine dental services and transportation to and from doctor appointments. If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, Medicare, not Medicaid, will cover your drug costs. Having Medicaid will automatically qualify you for Extra Help, the federal program that helps

A
ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADL’s), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide these services throughout Maryland. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need in order to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Maryland Health Care Commission provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations:
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies provide nursing services, home health aides and one or more other services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy and social services. Several kinds of health care staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit. A physician referral is required so it is a good idea to talk to your doctor if you think
you might need this type of care. Usually a ance under some circumstances. medical reason is needed for these services to be reimbursed by Medicare or insurance. Resources: Generally, home-based care is appropriate • M aryland Health Care Commission whenever a person prefers to stay at home www.mhcc.maryland.gov but needs ongoing care that cannot easily • Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) be provided by family and friends. www.dhmh.state.md.us/ohcq
Nurse Referral Service Agencies

The list from the Maryland Health Care Commission below shows the most often used home alterations.
These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, live-in caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home. The person seeking assistance contracts directly with the individual who will provide the service and may pay the agency or the provider for services .
Throughout the house: • Handrails on both sides of stairways inside and outside your home • Widen doorways to accommodate wheelchairs or walkers • Ramps for those using wheelchairs and walkers • Easy-open levered doorknobs • Remove throw rugs and scatter rugs or place non-slip padding underneath
Residential Services Agencies (RSA)
RSAs provide supportive home care services, that is, assistance with ADL’s and/or housekeeping services. It may provide one or more home care services such as provision of oxygen, or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds. An RSA cannot participate in the Medicare Program and nursing services are not provided by RSA staff. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are often paid for by the person using services but may be paid through insur-

Home Health Care & Services Understanding Home-Based Care in Virginia
I
n Virginia, providers of home care organizations, certified home health agencies, and licensed and certified hospice programs are reviewed by the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification. There are several types of agencies in Virginia that provide these services. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need in order to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations:
Home Health Agencies
Home health agencies are public or private agencies, organizations, or parts of agencies or organizations that meet the requirements for participation in Medicare under 42 CFR 440.70 (d). This indicates these federallycertified agencies provide skilled nursing services and at least one other therapeutic service, e.g. physical, speech or occupational therapy; medical social services; or home health aide services, and they also meet the capitalization requirements under 42 CFR 489.28. An agency may choose to be exempt from state licensure through certification in one of four ways: • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Cer-
tification; • Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP) Certification; • Medicaid Personal Care Certification; • Medicaid/Medicare Certification. When trying to find a home health agency, ask for their license number. Be specific in asking for the license number issued by the Virginia Department of Health, and not the number for their license to operate a business.
Home Care Organization
The code of Virginia defines a home care organization (HCO) as “a public or private organization, whether operated for profit or not for profit, that provides, at the residence of a patient or individual in the Commonwealth of Virginia, one or more of the following services: 1) home health services, including services provided by or under direct supervision of any health care professional under a medical plan of care in a patient’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to patients who have or are at risk of injury, illness, or a disabling condition and require short-term or long-term interventions; 2) personal care services, including assistance in personal care to include activities of daily living provided in an individual’s residence on a visit or hourly basis to individuals who have or are at risk of illness, injury, or disabling condition; or 3) pharmaceutical services, including services provided in a patient’s residence, which include the dispensing and administration of a drug
or drugs, and parenteral nutritional support, associated patient instruction, and such other services as identified by the Board of Health by regulation.”
Companion Services
In Virginia, companion organizations can provide only chore, companion or homemaker services, in addition to any of the following, without the aforementioned licenses. Companion services can include providing non-routine home maintenance, along with assisting individuals unable to care for themselves with transportation, meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping, companionship and household management. Also included is assistance with bathing areas the client cannot reach, fastening client’s clothing, combing hair, brushing dentures, shaving with an electric razor, and providing stabilization to a client while walking. Homemaker services, however, do not include feeding, bed baths, transferring, lifting, putting on braces or other supports, or cutting nails and shaving with a blade. Such services would need to be provided by a licensed HCO or HHA in Virginia.

HOW TO
find daytime supervision
centers provide socialization and peace of mind for caregivers
A
dult Day Centers are an important option for family caregivers as they offer socialization, activities, and necessary supervision to those who are socially isolated or need care and assistance. Caregivers can feel confident that their loved one is safe and well cared for while they are at work or performing other necessary tasks. Centers offer a variety of programs and amenities, including exercise programs and a diverse schedule of engaging activities. Assistance with the activities of daily living, including eating, walking, toileting and medication management may also be available. Additionally, many centers offer physical, speech and occupational therapies to their participants. All licensed centers provide nutritious meals and snacks on a daily basis.
flyers, brochures, calendars and application information. While reviewing this information, pay careful attention to how many years the provider has been in business and their licensures and certifications. Be sure to understand the staff credentials, staff to participant ratio, and the medical conditions the facility and its staff are equipped to handle. Inquire about the availability of transportation to and from the program if it is necessary. The types of activities offered and the menu variety should be considered as well. Specific costs and any financial assistance that is available should be clearly outlined in the information packet. Reviewing printed materials and asking questions over the phone can help narrow the choices, but the final decision of which Adult Day Center to use must be made in person. During the visit, carefully observe the general atmosphere of the building and the program.

ity, focus on the interaction between the staff members and the participants. Do the participants appear happy and satisfied? Are volunteers available to offer assistance? The center should be a welcoming place, complete with staff members who are ready and able to help. Also, notice the participation level of the attendees. Are they actively involved? Inquire as to whether participants are involved in planning activities and how staff members handle suggestions for new programs. During the visit, staff members should be able to provide clear and easy to understand information about the services and activities provided at the center. Be sure to obtain answers for any remaining questions about center procedures, staffing and costs. Checking references from individuals who are currently using this provider or have used them in the past is the final step. After choosing a provider, try them for at least three to five days. If there are problems making the adjustment, staff members may be able to offer advice to help make the transition smoother.
